Grooming Tips: I would recommend you ask this of your spa or hair expert. They very well may have a product or experience with your question. These answers usually come from your girl friends and not from the doctor.

Maybe ingrown hairs.: Insure you use fresh, sharp blades vice dull blades. If hair is > several mm long – then trim before shaving. Wash area before shaving – warm water helps to soften hair. Use a lubricant when shaving. Avoid using products that contain alcohol or are scented. Shave in direction of the hair – not against it. Be gentle when shaving – don’t push down too hard. Moisturize skin after shaving.
